Town guide

Albufeira

The Algarve's liveliest town: a whitewashed old town above the beach, cliff-backed sands and nightlife that goes on until morning.

Why go

Albufeira's old town sits on the cliffs above Praia dos Pescadores, with lifts and steps down to the sand. East of town, Praia da Falésia's red and ochre cliffs stretch for kilometres towards Vilamoura.

What to do

Spend the day on the beach or at a beach club, explore the marina, try piri-piri chicken in nearby Guia, and save a night for the bars and clubs of the old town and the Strip.
